I have recently acquired a predator recurve that I absolutely love. I have switched to a dacron string and it has became very quiet.  However, I am struggling with tuning.  Anyone have any suggestions for the best arrow choice for this bow.  I draw 26" and get 45# from the bow.  i will shoot a 28 - 28.5" arrow.  I have 1916, 2016,2018,2114 and 2115 arrows on hand.  My favorite broadhead is a 135 gr. Zwickey w/ a 43 gr. adapter.  That gives me a 175-180 gr. head.  Any suggestions?

I would start with the 2016, but the 1916 will be in the running, too.  Start with them a little long and trim them until they tune perfectly, either thru paper or bareshaft.

Hi Ron-I agree with Fletcher, the 2016. You still at PHill? Hap

I have a similar set-up.  Try the 2114 at 28 with the 175 grain head.  2016's bareshaft great at 28 inches with a 145 grain head.  Like Fletcher said, start'em long and trim a little at a time.

Hot Hap,

Yes, I am still in P.Hill.  Have been all my life and probably always will be.  I see no reason in leaving "God's Country."  How are you doing?  I have move from shop class into administration.  Still looking at getting a chance to build another bow with a student again.  Thanks for all the advice on tuning.  

Ron
